Lizard of Koz (2016)

Stout - Imperial / Double

This one is near and dear to our hearts. Brewmaster Jeremy Kosmicki wanted to make the birthday of his little sister, Liz, a special one. So he did what he does best and brewed a stout using a few of her favorite ingredients: fresh Michigan blueberries, rich chocolate and vanilla aged in bourbon barrels to round out those beautiful flavors. Liz was floored and we think you will be too.

02.11.2016. Анис, лакрица, кислит сильно, типа ягодки, но уже совсем не туда, очень странно, либо деградировал, либо не очень понятная идея.

4年ものなのにPCCより強いブルーベリー感。樽感は無くなってて良い意味でBAスタウト感がなくなってる。ちょいと酸味も。

アロマから強いブルーベリーを感じる素晴らしいスタウト。ボディは時間経過の影響か軽かったが物足りなさはなく飲みやすさに寄与していた印象。樽香など大きな癖はなくシンプルながらフレーバーティーのような渋みなどもあり他で体験できないような個性的なキャラクターで面白かったです。しかしブルーベリーが強いのがとてもよかった…

Coronavirus cellar turd day #179. This was super sweet fresh, and has died down a bit, but still pretty damn sweet. Thin body. It does taste like chocolate covered blueberries, but there is something I really don’t enjoy about this one. Thankful not 20%.

Kleverig zoete Imperial Stout gebrouwen m/ vanille, chocolade x bosbessen uit Michigan, gerijpt op bourbonvaten. Chocolade x vanille zijn rijkelijk aanwezig. Bosbessen duidelijk herkenbaar zonder te overheersen. Mooi gebalanceerd geheel.

Flavors popping all over the place. Starts w/ big blueberries, followed by vanilla. Chocolate stout suddenly pushes forward w/ everything supported on subtle bourbon barrel. Surprising carbonation gives foamy mouthfeel. 2016 - nice cellar surprise.

Ягодная кислинка вышла на передний план. Конечно это уже не то пиво из 2016, но сохранилось как могло:) Эх повторили бы варку.
